Does this work when plugged into USB 3.0 hub?

I use mine plugged into a Plugable Docking station and a Surface Pro. It installed itself and Ihave no problems with it.

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

Yes. All USB 3 hubs are backward compatible with USB 1 and 2. This one should work for all three.

Yes, it works with USB 2.0 with an exception. If you connect it to a non-powered USB 2.0 Hub it does not always work. It always works with my USB 2.0 powered hub and it works when I plug it directly into my computer. It is much faster with USB 3.0 Port. (I don't have a USB 3.0 external hub so don't know how it would work with that). It comes with a USB cable that is around 1 foot long. The USB Connection on the drive side is "micro B". I have five of these drives (4 1TB drives and 1 500GB drive) and I did manage to "break" one of my USB cables. Costs about $7 to replace the cable through Amazon. I take the drive from home to work almost every day so I am always disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I use a CaseLogic case when I'm transporting the drive and I may have bent the USB cable when I stored it in the case.

yes. It's a fairly high powered hub. Works best if plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

To run in USB 3.0 mode, the hub must be connected to a USB 3.0 port in the computer. If it is connected to a USB 2.0 port, the speed will be the slower USB 2.0 speed.

I'm sorry, but I have no clue. The USB plug worked fine for me. Perhaps it is defective.

i bought this to go with a usb 3.0 hub for my ultrabook laptop and the piece didn't work. the hub came with this same type of piece but that one worked fine, however it could have been something specific to my hub. sorry i know that doesn't help much.

Mine came with a cable for the 3.0 header and one that just plugged into a spare port if you don't have the header. I didn't try it, but I assume that the USB cable just turns the device into a powered hub.

The USB port worked, but I had no need to try a USB hub. The only thing that didn't work was the micro USB port

It works with USB 2.0. I didn't notice a difference between using USB 3.0 and 2.0.

I don't know, and I don't have a USB 3.0 hub to try. Their FAQ says nothing either way: http://www.caldigit.com/thunderboltstation/faq.asp

Yes. The USB 3.0 cable on the hub was connected to a USB 3.0 port on the back of the PC. A 2.5" drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure (not powered) was plugged into the Sabrent hub and the PC recognized the drive and its contents were visible on the PC. Then a 3.5" drive in a powered USB 3.0 enclosure was plugged into the Sabrent hub and it was also recognized by the PC. I reran the test using a USB 3.0 port in the front of the PC case and again both drives were recognized.But I've generally found that most USB hubs work "best" when they are plugged into the USB ports at the rear of the PC and not the ones on the front of the PC case that are connected to the motherboard headers.

1) are you sure your cable is a USB 2.0 piece?2) is your cable plugged into a direct port on the computer and not a hub, especially if the hub is un-powered

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

I'm pretty sure it does. Tried it with a USB3 hub with multiple ports and it also converts USB3 to HDMI video. That worked.

USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. The Hub will work with you Laptop but it will still not give USB 3.0 Speeds it will just perform like USB 2 Hub
